Somehow I managed to solve my problem and I am answering this question so that it be can be useful to people who see this post in the future.
So here is the modified code:
package com.demo;
import java.net.SocketException;
import org.ksoap2.SoapEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapObject;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapPrimitive;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.SoapSerializationEnvelope;
import org.ksoap2.transport.HttpTransportSE;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class Login extends Activity {
private final String NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/";
private final String URL = "http://10.0.2.2/testlogin/Service1.asmx";
String user_id;
String password;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button signin = (Button) findViewById(R.id.regsubmitbtn);
signin.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
EditText etxt_user = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usereditlog);
user_id = etxt_user.getText().toString();
EditText etxt_password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.pwdeditlog);
password = etxt_password.getText().toString();
new LoginTask().execute();
}
});
}
private boolean doLogin(String user_id, String password) {
boolean result=false;
final String SOAP_ACTION = "http://tempuri.org/GetLogin";
final String METHOD_NAME = "GetLogin";
SoapObject request = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME);
request.addProperty("userid", user_id);
request.addProperty("password",password);
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.dotNet = true; // Set this variable to true for
// compatibility with what seems to be the
// default encoding for .Net-Services.
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
System.out.println(request);
HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
try {
androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
SoapPrimitive response = (SoapPrimitive)envelope.getResponse();
Log.i("myApp", response.toString());
System.out.println("response" +response);
if(response.toString().equalsIgnoreCase("success"))
{
result = true;
}
}catch(SocketException ex)
{
Log.e("Error : " , "Error on soapPrimitiveData() " + ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error : " , "Error on soapPrimitiveData() " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
private class LoginTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(
Login.this);
protected void onPreExecute() {
this.dialog.setMessage("Logging in...");
this.dialog.show();
}
protected Void doInBackground(final Void... unused) {
boolean auth=doLogin(user_id,password);
System.out.println(auth);
return null;// don't interact with the ui!
}
protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
if (this.dialog.isShowing()) {
this.dialog.dismiss();
}
}
}
}
